Extra time, then a penalty shoot-out kick by kick — the app knows when it's decided and when sudden death starts • The champion gets the trophy on the tournament screen LIVE MATCH • An honest clock: time is derived from timestamps and survives backgrounding and app restarts; added time "45+X" in any format • Configurable match format: period count and length, substitution limit, re-entry — with Classic and Futsal presets • Goals, own goals, yellows and reds (second yellow sends off automatically), substitutions per the match rules • A ring around the clock shows what's left of the period; added time turns it orange • Hold a player to record an event — a brushed screen on the touchline books nobody; the list carries faces, numbers and positions • One-tap undo for the last event, screen stays awake during the match • Score and running clock on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • A team can never play two matches at once TEAMS AND PLAYERS • Rosters with squad numbers and positions • Player photos from the library or the camera, cropped to fit; a position glyph without one • Transfers between teams that keep history and stats intact • Free agents STATISTICS • Top scorers, hat-tricks and braces, cards — per tournament and all-time • Teams: form over the last five, clean sheets, discipline, winning and losing streaks • Matches: goals per game, most common scores, records, goals by half and by 15-minute band • Career stats on every player card MATCH REPORT • A PDF report for any finished match: score, line-ups with photos, every event with its minute, card summary — share it or print it FOR EVERYONE • Large text up to the biggest accessibility sizes, VoiceOver, Increase Contrast and Bold Text SYNC AND SAFEKEEPING • Your data syncs between your iPhone and iPad over iCloud • A season survives a lost or replaced device • It all lives in your private iCloud — we collect nothing You can run a match with no connection — sync catches up once you're back online.
